About the trip

This five-night small-group tour by G Adventures starts on Corfu, where you can spend your free time to take in the atmosphere or take a walk along the Achilleion Palace trail that meanders through gardens with views over the Ionian Sea. From here, the journey takes you inland to the remarkable rock formations of Meteora, where monasteries cling to cliffs high above Kalabaka. The hikes here offer panoramic views not just of the monasteries but also of the patchwork of fields below.

The tour concludes in Athens with an orientation walk through the Plaka district, where the maze of streets sprawls beneath the Acropolis. Along the way, the group visits Shedia Home, a café supported by the operator that welcomes people facing homelessness, a reminder that travel can connect us with many aspects of a place. Transport and some meals are included, and the tour moves at a pace suited to walkers, with a local CEO to guide you through the details and the occasional tip on where to linger longer.

The balance of walking, history, and community engagement makes this a straightforward yet rewarding introduction to parts of Greece less travelled in a package designed for a maximum of 16 travellers sharing accommodation.
